How am I able to remeber my Colonoscopy I just had? Everyone I know who has had one says they wake up and can not remember anything. I remeber everything. Atleast I think I do. Nothing bad about it, just wondering how I can remember. I was talking to the Doctor while he was doing the procedure, etc. I was watching the procedure on a monitor, we talked about a few things that he saw. The nurse pushing on my stomach while I lay on my side. If I don't remember it all, I sure remember most of it, I talked about it and explained it all to my husband on the way home. I found it interesting to watch, is that why I stayed awake?
